M15 - 19 Sep 08

[Sam]

After M42 and the Ring Nebula, M15 was the next DSO I first saw when I got my 8" scope last year. So it's nice to be able to image this year:

Here's M15 from last night with 36 X 120sec subs autoguided, stacked in DSS and tweaked a bit in PixeInsight and Gimp:

Cheers for the comments, this one and M2 are really a joy to look at. It's amazing how many stars are resolved through the eyepiece as well. Globs are quite amazing and though a fair few look very similar - no two are the same and I never tire of looking at them.

Excellent glob with great resolution of the stars
